Different Network Performance Measures in a Multi-Objective Traffic Assignment Problem
Traffic assignment algorithms are used to determine possible use of paths between origin-destination pairs and predict traffic flow in network links. One of the main deficiencies of ordinary traffic assignment methods is that in most of them one measure (mostly travel time) is usually included in objective function and other effective performance measures in traffic assignment are not considere...
متن کاملAdaptive call admission control and resource allocation in multi server wireless/cellular network
The ever increasing demand of the subscribers has put pressure on the capacity of wireless networks around the world. To utilize the scare resources, in the present paper we propose an optimal allocation scheme for an integrated wireless/cellular model with handoff priority and handoff guarantee services. The suggested algorithm optimally allocates the resources in each cell and dynamically adj...
متن کاملImpact of Next-Generation I/O Architectures on the Design and Performance of Network Servers
The increasing demand for scalable and highly-available network services has challenged computer architects to develop new I/O architecture for servers. The recently released InfiniBand industry standard, for instance, provides scalable bandwidth and protected I/O communication using the memory-mapped communication model and a channelbased switched fabric technology. Advanced device controllers...
متن کاملEvaluating Windows NT Terminal Server Performance
With the introduction of Windows NT, Terminal Server Edition (TSE), Microsoft finally brings to Windows the “thin-client” computing model the X Window System has offered Unix for a decade. TSE’s two most salient features are the provision of multi-user login service and the provision of that service remotely, over a network link. These features distinguish TSE from previous Microsoft operating ...
متن کاملA Lightweight Method for Building Reliable Operating Systems Despite Unreliable Device Drivers
It has been well established that most operating system crashes are due to bugs in device drivers. Because drivers are normally linked into the kernel address space, a buggy driver can wipe out kernel tables and bring the system crashing to a halt. We have greatly mitigated this problem by reducing the kernel to an absolute minimum and running each driver as a separate, unprivileged process in ...
